    This was a slight dissapointment...but a decent film overall. I can't say that everyone did a great acting job to begin with. Starting with the interesting performances: Lou Taylor Pucci was great and subtle and Eddie Kaye Thomas was splendid, a breath of fresh air, he probably g...( read more)ave the greatest performance in the movie. And moving on to the less interesting performances: John Hensley, whom I love from Nip/Tuck, here was...not great. The "pretty boy" role doesn't suit him at all and he's not believable. Kristen Bell was also weak and indifferent when it comes to her performance.
    It's frustrating at how much potential this movie had and how little of it got used. It could have been miles better, but it's simply mediocre despite all the good things going for it, such as its humor and its insanity.

    let me explain the phenomenal acting of Lou Pucci for you: someone makes you sell pills to pay your rent, you act like you are 10 years old acting mad. someone tries to have sex with you, you act nervous. dominatrix tries to whip you, you act nervous AND scared. (curveball!) in c...( read more)onclusion, where is this mans ACADEMY AWARD?! where is it??

    This film needed more Kristen Bell, but was a very cute "Rom-Com".

    I guess anything with Jane Lynch can't be all bad.
